Pages: 1 Rick Woods Postmaster Reged: 01/27/05 Loc: Inner Solar System Phoenix Lander/Titan books?       #5664515 - 02/05/13 11:58 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I'm still looking for a book to appear that will cover the scientific findings of the Mars Phoenix lander. Has anyone heard anything about one? It's been five years - come on with a book, already! Also, has anyone run across a current, in-depth book on Titan, based on the Cassini/Huygens mission? Something on about the level of Mike Carr's "The Surface of Mars" would be the ideal, but I'd love to hear about anything anyone knows of! IMO, Titan is the new Mars. I just have this feeling that, if we ever get a sufficiently sophisticated probe on the surface, we'll find a biosphere of an amazing nature!

(Upper R/H in that image I posted in the Saturn thread. It's still there as of my last visit there yesterday. Post Extras:       CounterWeight Postmaster Reged: 10/05/08 Loc: Cloudyopolis, OR.

Thanks, Preston. I checked it out, and it may be a little too technical (and expensive) for me at the moment. (This may change later). After reading "Titan Unveiled" by Lorenz & Mitton, I just ordered their earlier (pre-Cassini) book "Lifting Titan's Veil", which is surely dated, but heck, for $3.98 (free shipping), I don't care. I liked the other book a lot. Still looking for that up-to-date, semi-popular level Titan book. I've plunked large dinero on current, very technical Mars books; but I'm not quite ready to do it for Titan, until I'm more up to speed. All suggestions are appreciated! Post Extras:       Pages: 1
